** The ending can't be anything but a ForegoneConclusion of a ResetButton getting pushed, since this is the DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse. The story still could have examined how the characters are emotionally challenged by the alternate timelines as ''[[ComicBook/DoctorWhoFourDoctors Four Doctors]]'' did, but there are ''far'' more characters in this one; there just isn't space ''or'' time to give everyone a chance to shine.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A multi-Doctor adventure that features Nine, Ten, Eleven ''and'' Twelve, which addresses the fallout of the Doctor [[spoiler: exiling Rassilon]] ''and'' features alternate universe scenarios with Cybermen! Oh, wait: The Doctors never interact with each other -- sorry, Nine fans! -- it's FourLinesAllWaiting. The script is WritingForTheTrade action, with no time for anything but basic, established characterization. It is leading to a completely ForegoneConclusion of a ResetButton getting pushed. And oops, there was a ScheduleSlip and many, if not most, readers have to wait a month or longer between issues and are rewarded with a few minutes' worth of plot development for each "line" each time...''this'' is "A ''Doctor Who'' Comics Event"?

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A multi-Doctor adventure that features Nine, Ten, Eleven ''and'' Twelve, which addresses the fallout of the Doctor [[spoiler: exiling Rassilon]] ''and'' features alternate universe scenarios with Cybermen! Oh, wait: Cybermen sounds exciting -- especially given that the TV series didn't air a regular season in 2016. Unfortunately, this premise is mishandled in several ways:
**
The Doctors never interact with each other -- sorry, Nine fans! -- other; instead it's FourLinesAllWaiting. Not only does Nine continue to be the odd Doctor out in Titan's annual multi-Doctor stories (he only had a cameo in ''Four Doctors'' and did not interact with any of the others), this wastes the dramatic potential of the earlier Doctors temporarily finding out 1) [[spoiler: Gallifrey stands]] and 2) what was subsequently done to Twelve -- and what he did in response -- by [[spoiler: his own people]].
** The Twelfth Doctor's decision to [[spoiler: exile Rassilon]] sets up the plot, but there is no discussion or consideration of whether he might have made a better choice given the horrible circumstances of "Hell Bent". And given that one of those better choices might have been, given what the character subsequently does, [[spoiler: Twelve '''executing him''']], this is a waste of a fascinating ethical dilemma.
** In a related issue, [[spoiler: the death of Clara Oswald and her subsequent living on borrowed time]] is '''not mentioned at all''' in-story, even though all of the characters in Twelve's timeline should have this on their minds.
